60mm is the only way to do it 
40mm = For Girls
60mm= For Men

yes going too low can mess the handling up not sure how low it is but im pretty sure 60mm is pushing it, but 50mm alround is what i would go for

For looks and handling 60mm is the height to go for its still practical as well. As long as you take speedbumps etc slowly you will be fine mate.

the ride was fine on my corsa honestly..
spax rsx coilovers and custom made 110mm rear springs was a nice ride saying how low it was, and that was my daily car for over a year untill i sold it..
just got to get the middle silencer removed (ie remus centre section, or get it tucked up high with some small exhaust rubbers)
only thing it catches on..

but you never really got to speeds to push the suspension in the 1.0 did you jay?
i can feel my dampers running out of travel when putting the power downround corners when the forces shift to differnt wheels. and then the whole car gets unsettled.
